2013 release. The KVB release their new immersive and hypnotic album Minus One on A Recordings. The album follows hot on the heels of outstanding standalone single "Run Away." The KVB is the audio/visual project of London youngsters Nicholas Wood & Kat Day, who combine reverb-heavy wall-of-sound guitars, minimal, haunting strings and grinding bass synths, messed up motorik drum machine beats and delay-drenched vocals with a backdrop of imagery to accompany the symphony, that's nothing short of life-affirming.

After touring the UK with Loop and Australia in December 2013 with The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The KVB's six-track EP is the culmination of a week-long recording session at Anton Newcombe's studio in Berlin. They recruited the help of Joe Dilworth (Stereolab) to contribute live drums to the recordings , and this was the first time the band have worked outside of their own studio set-up at their home in South London. Out of Body is a further exploration of the band's interest in phenomenology, bodily immersion and consciousness. Introspective lyrics are suspended in dream-like melodies, further expanding upon the duo's hypnotic aesthetic which they explore both sonically and visually on the record. The KVB is the audio/visual project of London youngsters Nicholas Wood & Kat Day, who combine reverb-heavy wall-of-sound guitars, minimal, haunting strings and grinding bass synths, messed-up motorik drum machine beats and delay-drenched vocals with a backdrop of imagery to accompany the symphony, that's nothing short of life-affirming. Such full sensory assaults have seen The KVB's live following swell and their gig schedule become busier all the time, with multiple European headline tours as well as a West Coast USA tour in summer 2012 since the release of their debut album Always Then. The KVB is a group with a sense of urgency about it, to do what they need to do, with full commitment and without delay.

"Combining shoegaze guitars, minimal synth melodies, hypnotic drum machine rhythms and reverb drenched vocals, The KVB was first formed in 2010 as the solo project of Klaus Von Barrel. He was later joined by his girlfriend Kat Day, who added synthesizers and abstract visual elements. Their sound is dark, layered, complex, and moody -- an icy atmosphere juxtaposed by the warmth of distorted guitars. Aside from actively touring, they have had quite a few releases in this short time span, including a limited edition cassette on FLA Records (The Black Sun), a 10" vinyl EP on Downwards Records (Into the Night) and two releases on Clan Destine Records (Subjection/Subordination and Always Then). Inspired by what we heard on these releases along with the recent inclusion of Dayzed on Downward's So Click Heels Compilation, we felt the time was right to present a full length album of The KVB's latest material. The record is pressed on 180 gram ultra clear vinyl, housed in a high gloss printed heavy sleeve, limited to 999 copies."
